Ep 28 - Georgina speaks to Kirsten Kulukundis founder of the personal and business advisory service The Next Half 💻 🚀 💖

Kirsten set up the personal and business advisory service The Next Half in March 2021 after she saw a need that she knew she had the expertise to fill. ‘This one person had a great business model, but she didn’t have the confidence to present it and she started to cry… that’s when I had my epiphany that my business experience can help women who are my age that might not have had my business expertise but have fantastic ideas’. There is no doubt Kirsten has the business expertise with 30 years of experience working in the business sector most recently advising business leaders on investment viability. But, she says, ‘I had this nagging sensation that I wasn’t quite doing what I wanted to do in my life, or I needed to do or hoped to do’. 

Fast forward to her ‘bang’ moment during the lockdown and The Next Half was born to help primarily women aged 45 plus to work out their next path. ‘I passionately believe that we all can refocus, re-spark and reach for our dreams. And, I think we all deserve to be excited about our futures, but sometimes we just need starter fluid to figure out that next path. That’s where I come in.’ There is no doubt she speaks from the heart and totally gets the issues facing women about their future, ‘I get it when you don’t know what the path is but you know there is some path out there. And, I get that so let me help you.’

 The Next Half has made quantum leaps since the launch and recently Kirsten was approached by Darling magazine to do an interview where they labelled her ‘inspiring and inspiring women’. Kirsten says, ‘I couldn’t be more fulfilled or more happy and I’m chuffed to bits that the business is resonating with lots.’ As for the future Kirsten says, ‘I want to focus on really doing the business advisory in equal portion of my week as the personal coaching’. Either way, she is clearly in her element helping women to achieve their dreams, ‘I just get such pleasure and fulfilment out of supporting other midlife women to thrive both personally and professionally’. The interview was recorded on Wednesday 15th September at 12 pm BST.
